Hello everyone,

Could anyone shed some light on whether USMLE scores are use to evaluate candidates for Fellowships positions in the US (Mohs, Dermpath or Procedural/Cosmetic)? If so, which step(s) are usually considered?

Thanks in advance.

I am currently a Dermatology resident (not in the US of course). I have not written my USMLEs, but am intending to do so shortly for purposes of applying to fellowships.

Thanks in advance.

They don't typically matter much.

Connections and LORs from those connections matter more for dermatology fellowships.
